WW2 GERMAN SA SPORTS BADGE
HISTORY
The SA Sports Badge (German: SA-Sportabzeichen) was a decoration of Nazi Germany that was issued between the years 1933 and 1945. It was a political version of the much more generic German Sports Badge, which was also issued in great numbers by the Nazis. At its center was a 57mm high Roman broad sword, superimposed over a Nazi swastika encircled by a wreath of oak leaves. It was a pin-back badge, but there was a cloth version, as well. On 19 January 1939, Hitler changed the name of the badge from SA-Sportabzeichen (SA Sports Badge) to SA-Wehrabzeichen (SA-Defence Badge). The badge was awarded in three grades Bronze, Silver and Gold.
